Tagg gave a short bark that could not be mistaken as anything but a laugh as she swiftly morphed from her huge, black wolf shape into the smaller human girl. The past months, almost year, had gone very badly for her back at the lab. She had been almost totally out of commission because of all the different experiments in order to enhance and update her abilities. They had left her weak, angry, and even crazier than before. They had not managed to do much besides lighten her bones a little but every other experiment and attempted update had not done much besides mess with her brain circuits even more. What she had experienced had not done much to improve her temperament either.
"Hello Dako."She said, using the shortened name she had given the avian human a while back for laughs and giggles. Her shape shimmered and twisted slightly, as if she could not decide whether to drop into wolf form or stay human. The past previous months had been as a wolf for most of the time. Pain was more bearable that way.
“I take it you got my little warning?”She asked, her voice hoarse from lack of use. She fiddled slightly with a small shining whistle, twirling it around her wrist and through her fingers with a nasty little smile on her face. The time where she had been restricted to her rooms had not been wasted. She had watched, learned, and copied a careless white coat with the ability to make the whistles and had taught herself how to fine tune it to individual avian humans. She hadn’t had a chance to test it yet; if the lab coats knew she had figured it out they would most likely do everything to stop her because she wasn’t exactly known to be loyal to anyone. Kill an avian human, kill a white coat alike.
Tagg knew that she had the advantage here. Dakota killed for survival, not pleasure. Dakota was strong, but Tagg had no boundaries. Nothing to lose. She was angry after being cooped up. She was angry at what they did to her. She was angry that they still had her. But most of all, she was hungry.
They had let her loose just two days ago. She had taken to the shadows instantly, quicker and nastier than any of the hell rats that New York had spawned. She had not originally gone after Dakota first but it had been the first smell she had stumbled across and she had lit up at the idea in an instant. Traitors. So many traitors. She wanted to kill them all, and might as well start with Dakota. Tagg was bloodier than ever when it came to fights, but she was also smarter. She had grown a fondness for mind games. Besides stealing the ability to make whistles, Tagg had used her time to find and try to match each of the bird kids to all the files. There were a lot, but she had had a lot of time. She memorized the ones that matched the avian humans she knew, and even if the lab coats were no longer sure which experiment belonged to which file, she did. She knew Dakota’s number now, and she knew everything that had been on the file. And she wasn’t telling anyone what she knew. She took her advantages over the white coats every chance she got.
Tagg snarled gleefully, her sharp teeth gleaming in the light.




There wasn't a doubt in her mind, she was on the trail. Her muzzle was filled with overwhelming scents. She'd found the hare, and a rather large one at that. Quickening her pace she let her long legs carry her swiftly across the land. Her deep chocolate eyes scanning the path as she ran. She wasn't the strongest of dogs, though she was agile, swift and quick on her feet. Her ears tilted forward as she caught sight of the hare once more, as it flashed from here to there and back. She had to try to be able to keep up with its quick pace, herself. Finally she was able to catch up, her hearth thumping in her chest, her eyes set on the hare. She would get it this time, she was certain. Her velvety ears perked, as she lunged forward, only to be stopped. Stumbling she was pushed backwards in a sudden movement as she raised her head to see who it was. A small gasp escaped her as she noticed the two tall gangly dogs in front of her. Narrowing her eyes, she realized they had beat her to it. The hare was gone. Shaking her head in disbelief she turned her nose towards them, curled her lips back, revealing her glistening teeth, and snarled.


Torent could feel it. The tension in the deer's bodies. It was all over the air. They were silent. Not a muscle moving. He crouched slightly above them, on a soft raise with his owner laying on his stomach, surrounded by about three other dogs. His hunting team. They were waiting silently for their hunter to make his shot. He only had one and it was critical.
The gun raised, Torent's muscles tensing. He lowered his body even more, then as the shot rang out, the bullet whizzing past its intended target, hitting home on another deer's rib cage. He heard his hunter's disappointed curse and he looked up at the grizzly man.
Middle-aged with a small dark beard. He was tall, about 6'2" with broad shoulders and a rough, deep voice. Any dog who didn't know his nature might be scared, but he had been raised by this man. He felt loyalty to him, and always will.
"C'mon pups, they're long gone by now. Supper probably ready and we best be gettin' to it. Load!" His human had been saying. When he gave the 'Load' command, he and the three others leaped into the heavy truck, the door closing behind them. He, like always, got shot gun and they drove homebound, back to their tiny little housing on the outskirts of town.

Look at Torent's ^_^
